Favorite Upgraded Item

Yes it really is Jim,but FoA is over-powered too. Cumulative Slow is just sick. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Aye, the Flail of Ages +5 is superb. The reason it's not my fav though is because it's obtained so near the end of the game, there's hardly any time to enjoy it. Cumulative no resist, no save is indeed sick though, and over-powered.

I have fond memories of the Ravager. Giving it to Sarevok with some special gauntlets ( ) and improved haste, and then letting him single handedly go wild with Yaga-Sura's entire army is entertainment maximus. *vorpal hit*, *critical hit*, *deathbringer assault*, *stun*, *poison*. Every hit almost guarantees something's going to happen with this pair working together.

Stun? Is this from some custom gauntlet?

I know that Ravager can inflict Poison but Stun?

*Me wonders too*

No, by gauntlets I was refering to the GOES to maximise attacks. The stun is one of Sarevoks Deathbringer Assaults. Not looked fully into how this works, but it's something like 3% chance of a deathbringer assault, which is 50% chance to do 200 piercing damage and 50% chance to stun the victim for 2-3 rounds with no save. If this is not how it works, then it should be 3% chance to do 200 piercing and 3% chance to stun with no save. Which ever it is, I've definately seen him stunning victims (although for a short period) upon a successful strike, and in his kit description/biography, it states:

"He studied the art of intimidation, the cruelest and most brutal styles of combat, in order to become a Deathbringer that could paralyze an opponent in melee through fear alone...as well as sometimes killing the most powerful of opponents in a single, massive blow"

Well slap me silly and spin me around, one still learns something new everyday. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Is this confirmed and verified through the game coding? Man... you have to admit though... the ability is virtually neligible.

1) DA is rare enough as it is already, much less a 1.5% chance of stun.

2) Target has to survive the DA before the chance to stun. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I personally have not seen it in action before, but then... I have only used Sarevock once. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think (And like)The holy avenger Carsomyr +6.Its absolutely the best pala weapon you can get and +50%ms is Quit powerful agenst wizards

[Dundee Slaytern]

Not quite +50% MR... To be more specific, Carsomyr adds 50% to your BASE MR. Additional MR from items will be ignored.

I've not confirmed it through code, but I've seen it in action. Many people miss it because there is no console text or graphical indication (a la 200 damage assault) to state what's happened. You just see an enemy freeze in place, and of course, then die very quickly indeed.

1)True, although I'm not sure if it is 1.5% chance for each, or 3% chance for each yet.

2)Not necessarily, the stun assault is completely independant to the DA, so the target doesn't have to survive the DA first. They could I suppose both kick in at once via the 3% and 3% theory, but this chance is minimal.

The stun still has its uses. I've used Sarevok about 4 times, and only in the most recent game did I notice the stun (and once I knew what I was looking for, it happened relatively frequently).
